Park MLP-1 Master Link PliersMany derailer chains, especially our favorite SRAM brand, use a "master link" (SRAM calls it a "Power Link") that allows the chain to be installed and removed by hand.
While this type of masterlink doesn't require a traditional chain tool, over time, dirt and corrosion can make it difficult to separate by hand. MLP-1 Master Link Pliers make removal and replacement of these masterlinks quick and effortless.
Simply insert the specially sized jaws into the masterlink and squeeze the handles.
Like it's big brother, the Shop model CT-5, the pin automatically stops at the right spot, so you can open the chain but you won't accidentally push the rivet all the way through and ruin the link.
In addition, it folds to a smooth, compact shape that is easy to carry. 120 grams.
*That's assuming you only work on 3/32" derailer-type chain. If you work on the wide 1/8" chain, you'd probably be better off with a model that does not have the auto stop feature.
